JJRR Ep43 Merch by Amazon – Baller on a budget – Spontaneously Speaking – with RJ Macalanda

RJ Macalanda is a Merch by Amazon expert who’s been able to ditch corporate life and live out his travel dreams while building a self sustaining t-shirt business online.  Listen to Ep43 as RJ describes how he went from 0 to $7000 a month in 3 months leveraging Amazon’s eco-system and how spontaneously he found himself presenting with CJ Johnson at this year’s Nomad Summit – Las Vegas.  A self described “baller on a budget”, RJ is now building a MbyA lifestyle community while nomading around the world.
